This week seems to have passed by quickly for some reason. I guess times flies when you are having fun!

Sorry to hear that APB is shutting down. I had just renewed my subscription for another month, and quite a few of my CrimeCraft friends had migrated over there, so we were having a good time.

No big plans for this weekend, so we'll have plenty of time to catch up on Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, and maybe even see the new Resident Evil.
